ok ive been reading this post and i had the same problem almost. after installing my vig 2800 i threw up an ses light. missfire code. caused by the torque converter having to much slippage. this was corrected with edit and now everything is fine. no ses light.
allthough my truck never went into limp mode. but i do have a built tranny. so maybe that had something to do with it.

Hmmm...so I guess any torque converter will cause this, not just anything above 3000.
What code did you throw Thunder and how did you correct it with Edit?

How hard was it to learn Edit? Did you just go by trial and error?

Misfire probably due to the small diameter confusin the computer... small diameter = less rotational mass.
